Abstract

The electronic control device provides contact-free control of an installation, such as a urinal. It has at least one transmitter (6) to provide directed light signals. It also has a receiver (37) which receives signals (16,17,18) and feeds them to a switch (11) acting on the installation. The transmitter (6) and the receiver (37) form an optical triangulation arrangement. To fade out the background, reflections (21) from the background and from a given detection area are received.
